<h1>About</h1>

<p>
The Computer Science Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Arlington is actively 
seeking to increase the number of students who come to UTA and major in Engineering. In order to 
accomplish this goal, UTA wants to provide opportunities for high school students, particularly 
those in the Metroplex, to begin thinking about engineering as a possible major and to recognize 
UTA as a well-respected university before they make decisions about their university careers.

The Engineering website <a href = "http://www.uta.edu/engineering/">(http://www.uta.edu/engineering/)</a> 
has more information about faculty, students, and research areas being pursued at UTA.  High-school 
students and other students new to UTA will find this to be a great resource for exploring the various 
departments and what each has to offer.
